use ge-proton with umu
Wine-GE is rather old now (last release is almost a year ago) and thus might not work correctly. Please follow these instructions on using GE-Proton with umu instead:
1. Head to the Wine Manager in Heroic, click the "Proton-GE" tab, and install "Proton-GE-Latest"
2. Enable umu in "Settings" (Heroic sidebar) -> "Advanced" -> "Use UMU as Proton runtime"
Note: For a visual guide, see attached image
3. Head to the settings for your game(s) (icon on game card in library). In the "Wine Version" dropdown, select "Proton - Proton-GE-latest"
4. Rename your Wineprefix (path is shown in game settings), e.g. from
current-name to current-name_bak. To clarify: Rename the actual folder on your hard drive, do not change the option in the game settings.
Note: This will make game-specific configuration data (e.g. in-game settings or save files) unavailable. If this is an issue, let us know & we'll help you restore them.

I just played the game with proton and umu enabled
its a unity game
it's nothing special that is hard to get running
To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

I tested on AMD hardware - had no issues
harsh-harlequinā¢4mo ago
I'm running on AMD CPU&GPU and have the same problem as the guys above.
metropolitan-bronzeā¢4mo ago
try different Proton build
like Valve's proton 9.0 or even experimental
harsh-harlequinā¢4mo ago
I've tried Proton-GE-9.0.4, Proton-GE-latest, Proton-Hotfix and Proton-Experimental so far.
Using Proton 9.0 now and getting at least a different error š https://0x0.st/8P2r.log

also you may need to make sure EOS overlay is enabled
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
ah yes, I did see that in the corner
frozen-sapphireā¢4mo ago
where do you check that ?
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
if it's not enabled, the red box would say "Enable EOS Overlay"
foreign-sapphireā¢4mo ago
Are there games requiring it?
fair-roseā¢4mo ago
just tested it by disabling EOS. game window disappears immediately
frozen-sapphireā¢4mo ago
It's working!
Thank you so much
metropolitan-bronzeā¢4mo ago
sometimes...
it enables additional services allowing game to connect
foreign-sapphireā¢4mo ago
š
It is being on by default on Heroic when then? @Linguin
šø
metropolitan-bronzeā¢4mo ago
I belive it is now
foreign-sapphireā¢4mo ago
:rollsafe:
frozen-sapphireā¢4mo ago
it's was not by default for me
quickest-silverā¢4mo ago
yeah, it should be enabled by default, but I think it only enables it if installed and when turned on manually it actually installs the thing if needed
metropolitan-bronzeā¢4mo ago
yeah, prior installation is required
harsh-harlequinā¢4mo ago
Awesome, that did the trick for me too. Thx all for the support.

proton-ge + umu is the way to go for running games, umu helps provide dependencdies and runtimes for games run with proton-ge
also if it contains specific fixes for games it will auto install them
multiple-amethystā¢4mo ago
Enabling EOS overlay worked for me. Currently using Wine-latest though tried Proton with UMU before
Is there a reason to use Proton +UMU even if the game is running fine under Wine? Like less resources used or something?
quickest-silverā¢4mo ago
it's more a general recommendation than a requirement
if your game works fine with wine it's totally fine to just continue using it
the issue with wine-ge is that it was discontinued and the focus is ge-proton and umu, heroic will default to that combination in the future too, with this combination you can eventually use newer versions of ge-proton which may include fixes you need for different games or updates from wine, the specific benefits will depend on each game and what umu and ge-proton does for that game
metropolitan-bronzeā¢4mo ago
umu provides a container runtime so you are always sure you have necessary libraries
sunny-greenā¢4mo ago
Wine-ge due to age is also now failing to work in some cases. Since its no longer maintained ultimately it may just stop working

Your issue is different from OP. Create your own thread
deep-jadeā¢4mo ago
okay
optimistic-goldā¢4mo ago
I just need to enable EOS overlay, than the game runs. UMU not needed, using Proton GE 9.24
metropolitan-bronzeā¢4mo ago
UMU is a runtime for Proton
this is the only thing that is not opt in when it comes to Proton
you should always use UMU with Proton
multiple-amethystā¢4mo ago
Are you online when you load the game? Humankind seems to require a online connection at the time of loading or it will not load.
deep-jadeā¢4mo ago
I am online when I load it.... It seems maybe my pc can't run it
